I just mean there are some lit related threads. I'm on your/OPs side though. Too few relevant threads.

For me, it was getting dull till Femi showed up, and again now that she's taking a sabbatical. -But, I am still stuck in my room.
Sunhawk just keeps busy afk. Evolakid was always just a parody. He's probably still around.

I did not.

Do I not post enough for you? Subtly there are, but no great flux of qualities as far as I can tell (Aside from Femi) Impostor.

He must be. I'm pic relating fyi.

Let's discuss two stories /lit/, because I believe that they are two halves of a unifying truth.

Borges - Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius

Borges - The Library of Babel

Perhaps if you're a certain breed of /fringe/x/er, you'll understand.

Hey, if I'm a literature scrub and not really experienced with high-literature (I do read for fun, but sci-fi and fantasy) and the way people read it (I know it's all about interpertation), would it be worth reading some of Borges stuff? Somebody quoted pic related and it sounded pretty goddamn interesting.

Which is your favorite short story?

Pic related. Mine is Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius.

Is there anything even nearly as epic and mindfucking as Borges?
